TIE BURKE COWHIDIN9.
THE LADY PROVES TO BE MRS
MARIA THOMPSON.
A Rejected Love and Secret Mar
riage Cause the Onslaught--SOr.
ny IL Wasn't Doubled.

By dint OF much searching inquiry
particulars OF the Burke cowhiding
have been brought to light. The lady
in Il case is Mrs. Maria Thompson,
who resides near the southern limits
of the city. Some two years ago she
was house keeper for Burke, VINO was
then a widow,r. Afterwards, acc I'd.
ing to the architects story, he dis.
missed her from his service, but az.
signed no reason for this action. 1t
seems Mrs. rhomp'on had a more
tnan passing regard for Burke, which
she uaC qully allowed to run undis.
turbed until the news OF her amour's
marriage came to hand. Then her
sou rose in revolt and the trusty cow
hide was selected a. the weapon. Re.
pairing to Burke's Off Q, 2S2 Main
street, she marched boldly in and
without a word lit into nm. There
were two gentlemen in the Office at
the time, bat they did not zee fit to
interfere, and the punishment was al
lowed to proceed until the lady saw
proner to let up.
When Mrs. Thompson left the scene
she Wis ted the Office OF lawyer, to
whom she related the circumstances of
the affair. She b gan her story by
asking the legal gentleman il he had
heard Of Burke's marriage. He had
not, and the aggrieved womsn &C
counted for this by stating that the
fact had not been made public. Then
she followed with details of the as.
sault and concluded by asking his
opinion.
Don't you think you did wrong2"
ventured the attorney.
Perhaps l acted little unlsdy like,
but fur Their than that ! do not regret
the tbrashing given him Do you
think l will be arrested2" she in
quired.
81 have no doubt of it," returned
the adviser, "and if you are the
chances are decidedly against you.
The laws are very severe for such Of
fenses."
Mrs. Thompson appeared not the
least disturbed over the prospect, but
walked away, expressing regret that
the laehes had not been doubled. No
efforts have thus far been made To- k.
ing to her arrest. AS to the peculiar
relations, if any, existing between her
and Burke, that eau 81 d the onslaught,
she would, OF course, say nothing.

TSE PROHIBITION Law.
THE LIQUOR DEALERS WILL
FIClHT THE AMENDMENT,
Test lis CoastitutiOnalliy and, II De-
feated, WIN Engage In Bust.
ness IN Other States.

The pascage Of the State prohibition
bill, its submission ID the people
next fall and the failure to
pass the compensation bill have
stirred up the Wholesale and
retail liquor dealers, .ths distllers and
and brewers OF the State. From in
teIviews with the Wholesale dealers in
this city it is learned that they are
determined 10 fight the prohibition
amendmen Mt to the bitter end. They
are OF opinion thtt the probabilities
are that the amendment will be
adopted by the people and by con-
siderable majority, and believing this
to be so, they are ready to open the
legal fight whenever it may become
necessary.
In reply TO questions proplunded
by an APPEAL interviewer, q leading
wholesale liquor dealer and manu-
facturer said:
"The United States Supreme, the
Federal Circuit Cou ts and many of
the State Supreme and lower courts,
have time and time again decided
that the State cannot destroy the bus
mess # citizen without making am
pie compensation. They havs even
gone farther than that, aud have held
that, not only must compensation be
made, but that special fund or spe-
Cial tax must be create d for that pur-
pose, when 1t is sought by legislation
to destroy business.
There are stronger decisions that
these-in few cases courts have
gone 30 far as TO hold that, not only
must compensation be made for the
actual loss, but compensation must be
made for the losses on the value of the
plant and general business of the
persons engaged heroic.
The intention Of tho LIQUOR dealers
and manufacturers is to secure an in
junction and test the conatitu,ionality
of the prohibition law whenever it's
enforcement is sttsmpi ed"
"But should the law be held oonsti-
tutionsl by the courts, what then?"
inquired the reporter.

Ceesion. Last night they were prese mt
IN force at the handsome and Commo-
dious residence Of M. William s.
Bruce, No 81 Monroe street. Iuvita-
tiots had been Issued to the most bril-
liant lights of The city, and only un-
ayoldabe reasons prevented a few of
those acc ptirg them from attending.
This, in the main, was because OF the
widespread popularity of the accom-
plished hostess, Miss Ida Bruce, and
also because none ever enter her
house and leave with any bu. the
most delightful reCo lt ctions. The re-
Cepton last evening only added to her
victories in that line.
Every room In the house was thrown
open to the guests, and all felt the
force OF the invitation, "Make your
selves at home" This they did 10 a
manner Gle ry betokening the sin.
certify attached to the words. For the
occasion the residence had been dec
GRATED profusely, evincing artistic
taste OF high order in the hostess.
Two small Iecep ion rooms on the sec

large umbrellas, constructed OF beau.
tiful shade OF netting by the young
LAZY herself Beneath these couples
in handsome evening costume sat,
conversirg pleasantly, the whole con-
veying an idea OF some bowery retreat.
Around the walls aud on mantes,
fDwers were ranged in lavish profu.
sion, the delicious perfume from which
greeted the guests at every turn.
Not the least striking evidence OF

expressions Of praise and wonder we're
heard.
Dancing and other social pasiimes
